Self-contained rescue system
The heightec-PMI ScaffPack is a compact, self-contained rescue system, which allows a subject to be recovered by a single rescuer. Once the casualty has been connected, he or she can be raised or lowered by one person to a safe place. The wide casualty attachment hook can be fastened to various points of a subject’s harness for simplicity and ease of operation. The whole system is failsafe in operation, and will lock if operated in panic. Using the Quadra lowering device allows rope to be given out when not under load, but will lock if subjected to a sudden impact or fall. When the Quadra handle is released, the device will lock, allowing the rescuer to attend to other issues. PMI | www.pmirope.com Booth 1415
